Excitement is building ahead of the Northampton leg of the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series, with ticket sales well ahead of the same point last year.

With three weeks to go until the season’s curtain raiser kicks off over three thousand tickets have been sold to supporters eager to see some rugby at the home of the Aviva Premiership champions.

The Saints will be taking on Harlequins, Wasps and Saracens at Franklin’s Gardens on Friday, August 1st, with the evening packed full of action and entertainment both on and off the pitch.

The club has also confirmed that the Aviva Premiership and Amlin Challenge Cup trophies will be available for supporters who want to have their pictures taken with the two pieces of silverware the Saints brought home in those memorable eight days in May.

Tickets for the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series are available now for either £10 if you’re an adult or £5 for Under-16s.

Alternatively there is a hospitality option which includes a rolling hot and cold buffet all night for just £25 per person, including VAT.
